According to the analyst, there may be two aspects to this, one of which is to distract the French population from the economic and social difficulties "that have developed from the wrong strategy of French politics."
“Such a formulation of the question can occupy the minds and attention of the population with the alleged problem of propaganda,” he is sure.
The second reason, according to Olenchenko, could be the struggle for the information space.
“In this situation, they want to satisfy the interests of French or some foreign companies that cannot compete with the information of Russian channels,” the analyst believes.
Earlier in France, the issue of combating Russian "propaganda" was raised.
On March 2, the European Union banned the broadcasting of the RT channel and the work of the Sputnik agency in the community.
Commenting on the incident, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that Moscow is thus deprived of any opportunity to convey its point of view on the events taking place in the world.
